New Doc 'I Am Still Here' Exposes Brazil's Dictatorship Brutalities
A new documentary, 'I Am Still Here', explores the brutalities of Brazil's military dictatorship. Directed by Tatiana Issa, the film is based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva's memoir of the same name, released in 2019.
The documentary begins just before Paiva's arrest in 1971, focusing on an average family whose tranquility is disrupted by his mysterious questioning and subsequent disappearance. Issa uses this personal account to depict the horrors of the dictatorship, immersing viewers in that period's reality.
Issa's previous works include a successful documentary on the life of Che Guevara. The film 'I Am Still Here' is her latest effort to bring untold stories of the past to light.
The documentary 'I Am Still Here' provides a stark reminder of Brazil's past. It is a testament to the resilience of those who lived through the dictatorship and a tribute to Marcelo Rubens Paiva's courage in sharing his story.
